Agentic Portfolio Loop — Results

Summary

Successfully built and ran an adversarial agentic system that generated 10 improved portfolio variations through iterative feedback between improvement and hiring manager agents.

System Overview

Three-Agent Architecture:

┌─────────────────────┐
│ Improvement Agent   │ ← Proposes enhanced portfolios
└──────────┬──────────┘
           ↓
┌─────────────────────┐
│  Portfolio Variant  │
└──────────┬──────────┘
           ↓
┌─────────────────────┐
│ 10x Hiring Manager  │ ← Evaluate from role perspectives
│      Agents         │
└──────────┬──────────┘
           ↓
┌─────────────────────┐
│    Coordinator      │ → Score ≥75? → Approve
│                     │   Score <75? → Reject & feedback loop
└─────────────────────┘

Results

Performance

• Total iterations: 12
• Variations generated: 10 ✓
• Rejected: 2 (iterations 5 and 6)
• Success rate: 83.3%
• Runtime: ~24 seconds

Score Distribution

Average: 78.7 / 100

Target Roles Evaluated

Each variation was scored by hiring managers for:

1. Head of Product Design
2. Senior UX Researcher
3. Product Manager (Design-Led)
4. Director of Design
5. Lead Product Designer
6. VP Product Design
7. Design Systems Lead

9. Principal Designer
10. Head of User Research

What Was Generated

For Each Variation

Files created:

• manifest.json — Metadata, improvements, and evaluations
• index.njk — Eleventy page with full content

Manifest contains:

• List of specific improvements
• Rationale for changes
• Primary role focus
• 10x hiring manager evaluations (score, strengths, concerns, feedback)
• Average score and approval status

Example Improvements

Typical enhancement focus areas:

• Enhanced quantifiable outcomes with specific metrics
• Strengthened leadership narrative throughout case studies
• Added stakeholder management examples
• Improved business impact storytelling

How to Use

View Results

1. Archive index: /portfolio/archive/
2. Individual variations: /portfolio/archive/portfolio-agentic-{id}/
3. Summary data: portfolio/archive/agentic-loop-summary.json

Run Again

cd /workspace/portfolio
node coordinator.mjs

This will resume from existing state or start fresh if you delete loop-state.json.

Customize

Target different roles: Edit target-roles.txt — one role per line

Change approval threshold: Edit coordinator.mjs line ~90:

const approved = avgScore >= 75;  // Change threshold here

Generate more variations: Edit coordinator.mjs line ~20:

const TARGET_COUNT = 10;  // Increase target

Integration with Site

All variations are:

• Excluded from collections (eleventyExcludeFromCollections: true)
• Set to noindex, nofollow
• Built with normal Eleventy process: npx @11ty/eleventy

No changes needed to existing portfolio structure.

Next Steps

Phase 2: Real Content Generation

Currently the system creates structured evaluations but uses placeholder content. Next:

1. Real Task Agents — Replace simulation with actual Cloud Agent calls
2. Content Generation — Have agents write enhanced project descriptions
3. Deeper Feedback Loop — Feed specific concerns back to improvement prompts

Phase 3: Role-Specific Targeting

Instead of optimizing for all 10 roles:

• Generate dedicated versions per role
• A/B test which performs better
• Track conversion in actual hiring scenarios

Phase 4: Continuous Improvement

• Run on schedule (weekly/monthly)
• Incorporate new projects as added
• Adapt to changing role requirements
• Learn from hiring outcomes
